Just how many programmers out there have a handle on C++. The whole package; STL, IOstreams, Class, Templates - I could go on and on but the point is that there are only a handful of people out there with a complete understanding of C++. Then there is the Question of how many of those are actually productive with it. If C++ is that simple then we should be able to find VALIDATED compilers on the market, far as I Know there is none out there. The problem with ADA is that it is rejected by the hacker cult that started out on C. Mean while C & C++ have been rejected by anybody who has to ship a product under tight deadlines and high quality expectations. i.e. anyone working for a corporation.
